Was looking for someone mentioning that gem of a line

[@cdarklock]

Tiny additional detail: when villagers try to breed and can't, they still consume the food. Also, if you put a ladder or vines on the side of your villager storage column they won't suffocate from cramming. As a bonus, it reduces lag, because it alters how entity collisions are calculated.

so you have to flip up the trapdoors, just wait for them to get on the fence and try ur best to flip up all the trap doors. took me like 10 minutes. when they sleep and wake up they will go back on the fence post.

Anyone trying today (for bedrock at least, idk about Java) You might need to place a slab on top of their heads to keep them from jumping out as at least on bedrock, they seem to just jump from nothing inside the fence post and then onto their enclosure. They can still sleep from there, and you can try again with a slab on top if you need.

[@fibnasty]

i did it and my villagers arent breeding

[@faullks3147]

thank you for being the only person i’ve seen mention that each villager needs a bed each (and you need to spares to make them breed) it’s an important detail that no one else mentions. i created a different design for breeding and it worked great at first until they stopped and it was most because my village didn’t have enough spare beds! all my others died so i only had two left until breeding so there was a lot of spare beds. The issue has been fixed by just placing down a lot of beds!! this is probably the reason so many people have trouble breeding them!

In testing this in my world, I've found that slabs placed just above your villagers heads serve multiple purposes. They can't jump out and are forced into the pit when they "wake up" out of bed. Also protects them from lightning!

[@evolve3us847]

I figured out my own question. If you make the breeder too close to the trading hall you have to reset the beds in the breeder in order to get the villagers to breed again. Great video, simple mistake on the user end. Keep up the content.

Just use dirt or any solid block so that you can place the bed down, then swap the dirt out for the slabs. The same thing happened to me.

question: what to do when the villagers refuse to accept any food? what could be the reason (neither were farmers) edit for more info: I built it underground, could it be ceiling height? edit 2: they clearly look at food items they can accept (bread, potatoes ect...) but refuse to pick it up even when its clearly in range, and even on their fence they are standing on

[@dzytis]

Need 4blocks high and villagers must be happy if you hit them or kill one, they will be unhappy and wont breed. If you see higher price its sign that they unhappy.

[@csharpcoffee]

I'm probably a bit late, but its probably because mob griefing is disabled. Mojang is silly and the mob griefing gamerule disables villager picking up food and farmer villager being able to collect crops.

[@hectormora6814]

This guy is my new favorite Minecraft KZbinr 📺

[@BenuOZ]

One questions about this: Do the villagers continue to breed indefinitely or does there have to be an increasing amount of beds elsewhere outside the little tower? From what I can see, there are only four beds. Wouldn't this mean that the villagers in the breeder quickly stop to breed?

[@penguinlord6486]

You don't need to make more beds ther 4 beds are enough

[@m2s949]

The water stream that carries them out is far enough for them not to track to the bed

[@vahettehan]

Still No answer to benuoz question

[@Evan-nb6mr]

​@@vahettehanthere was... it was that they don't need more beds

i changed the bottom block where the baby villagers go to a slab and then it will 100% pick them up every time!

Nice!

[@LeeKags]

Thanks for making this tutorial it's very compact and needs little materials its just I suggest putting some temporary blocks when transporting the villagers to the breeder because I had a hassle putting them on top of the fence.

[@Gman227]

I have an issue where the villagers will stop breeding after 2 babies are made and I can’t find a way to fix it. It seems to be because the villagers think every bed is occupied because if I replace the beds it goes back to working for 2 more villagers. Any tips?

[@RafaelMunizYT]

I guess you gotta block the pathfind between your breeder and wherever the born villagers go. if they go to your trading hall you gotta block the pathfinding in there somehow so the newcomer villagers lose access to their beds

For those who had the same problem as me with the cart not coming through the glass block: Just place more rails on the bottom level, so the cart gets more speed. Of course you have to replace the dispenser too.

[@mirome87]

Great video and explanation! Keep up the great work! Q) What is the purpose of the detector rail?

[@subtoRey]

sorry a bit late, but the good thing about a detector rail is it can activate anything like dispensers,

[@calebv6914]

Just throw the bread to the left of the villagers (I always aim at the back left piece of carpet) so that way it falls next to them and they can just pick it up. That prevents it from falling down into the pit and potentially other villagers picking it up

[@jooj8800]

Hey man, just wanted to say that i love your videos and i hope your channel will get bigger. Wish you all the luck!

[@RaynmanPlays]

I'm pretty sure it's possible to set up an auto carrot or potato farm near the breeder so that baby villagers are auto-produced.

[@andresanchez2000]

When the villagers sleep in the beds at night they keep waking up outside of the trapdoors and escaping.

[@sophialikescatz]

[@laurencekoetsier]

I think it only works in java and not bedrock.. I've spent too much time trying to make it work ,🫣

[@stang3313]

If I build villager shop close to the breeder, the beds will be unoccupied, and villagers will still breed more, right?

[@_Music_Plus_]

Very helpful broooooo👍

[@arcanavalo]

Awesome video Its hard to explain villager mechanics well really detailed guide!

[@DreamySparks_]

If you have trouble moving your villagers into the beds, just because they simply reject it, here's a solution: Get a bell. *Ring it.* They will pathfind to the nearest bed, and stand on it. They will potentially fall in the hole. Best doing this close to nighttime, as they will then sleep and then they're forever trapped.

[@zechere1365]

On bedrock I've had an issue where the villagers can still walk out on top of the beds. Any solution to this?

my villagers are having an issue where they cant "path" to unclaimed beds meaning they wont actually breed. they start to then they get angry. idk how to solve this because it hasnt been an issue before. but all of a sudden my villager breeder just stopped working.

[@Celticshade]

i did end up solving it. i actually added 3 beds basically in a "plus" space around the farm with trap doors over them. they are essentially just directly next to the beds already in place but i finally with so much testing found a spot for them that the villagers would consider there being a enough beds that were close enough to path to.

NGL YT tutorials on villager breeders just always make things more complicated than they need to be, all you need is a small safe area, a farm taking up most of that area, 2 farmers and excess beds and you get a baby villager every minecraft day. all you need to do is transport adult villagers out of that area to the trading hall with beds.

The Sun sets and Nights arrives. i stay up to protect the village and to get the items ( bone, spider eye, etc ). as i was killing the monsters ( spider, skeletons, zombies, creepers ) My village got raid with MONSTERS ( not just a few ) Villagers became Zombies....... houses and floor were blown up by creepers Skeletons kill villagers. The iron Golem who was there with me got shot by arrows ( skeletons ) and blown up by 2 creepers. i ran to a house and stay there. there was no bed and i was getting attack by 3 zombies 2 skeletons, and 2 creepers at the same time. ( knocking on the door ). few minutes later i see the sun rise....... all villagers dead, converted into zombies, the crops ( food ) were half destroyed, Houses on fire half or fully destroyed, The animals escaped ( pigs, chicken, cows, and horses ). It was a Battlefield and i was standing in the middle of it. Days go by............... The entire village was abandoned, desserted, destroyed, it was sad.....
